Faith, dilligence, mindfulness, absorption, and knowledge.

The five faculties, as found listed in http://read.84000.co/translation/UT22084-031-002.html#UT22084-031-002-162, comprise (1) the faculty of faith, (2) the faculty of perseverance, (3) the faculty of recollection, (4) the faculty of meditative stability, and (5) the faculty of wisdom.

The five powers, or faculties, are those of (1) faith; (2) perseverence; (3) mindfulness; (4) meditative absorption or samādhi; and (5) wisdom or prajñā.

These are called "faculties" (indriya) by analogy, as they are considered as capacities to be developed: the spiritual faculties for faith (śraddhā), effort (vīrya), mindfulness (smṛti), concentration (samādhi), and wisdom (prajña). These are included in the thirty-seven aids to enlightenment.
